										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Makhan Lal Bindroo, a 68-year-old Kashmiri Pandit, was shot dead by terrorists in J&amp;K on Tuesday, and his emotionally charged daughter, Shraddha Bindroo, criticized terrorists for exhibiting cowardice by killing civilians on Wednesday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8221; My father was a Kashmiri Pandit, he will never die. Terrorists can only kill his body, my father will remain alive in the spirit,” she declared in a now-viral video. She also invited terrorists to engage in a face-to-face argument with her.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>She added that “These terrorists can only pelt stones and kill innocents, that’s all they can do. They have no guts to debate.”</p>
